Revision - exhibits - Planet Zoo 2 Wiki

Exhibits are the small-animal enclosures that sit alongside full habitats, aquariums, and aviaries as one of the four ways an animal can be housed in Planet Zoo 2. They are a returning category rather than a new one, and they hold the invertebrates, amphibians, small reptiles, and small fish that would be lost in a full habitat.

Exhibits are their own entry in the build menu, separate from Habitats and Aquariums, as described under Building and Construction. Because they are not built from habitat barriers, exhibit species carry no barrier specification in the animal data collected under Habitat Requirements.

What Has Been Shown

Frontier has not yet published a dedicated feature article on exhibits, so the detail available is thinner than for the sequel headline additions. What is confirmed is the category itself, its presence as a filter in the Zoopedia, and the roster of species that can live in one. Exhibits were given a dedicated segment with live gameplay in the running order for the Zoological Summit event Frontier held at Chester Zoo on 12 September 2026.

As of 13 September 2026, 35 of the 102 catalogued species can be kept in an exhibit. 23 of those are exhibit-only, while 12 can also be kept in an aquarium, which gives the player a choice of presentation for the same animal.

Group	Exhibit Species
Ray-finned fish	12
Invertebrate	8
Reptile	8
Amphibian	7
